Dear Sir:
I doubt whether any of the SCSI experts who participate in this
reflector would feel comfortable using this venue to comment upon the
operation of another organization's specification.
Please consider posting this question to:
t13 at t13.org -- the T13 Technical Committee (ATA & ATAPI) reflector
or possibly
http://www.sata-io.org/contacts -- the SATA IO contact-us page
All the best,
.Ralph
